PhD

The QuanG2 Autumn 2026 PhD call is now open, offering over 30 fully funded PhD projects in quantum sciences and technologies in Grenoble.

Selected candidates will join a 3-year international research programme and benefit from up to €10,000 in additional research funding for missions, conferences, and equipment.

This is a unique opportunity to join a cutting-edge quantum research environment. Applications close on 7 September 2026.

The newly established Quantum Cryptography group at the University of Innsbruck, led by Ramona Wolf, is seeking motivated PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers. The group’s research focuses on the security of quantum cryptographic protocols, in particular quantum key distribution and randomness generation, and their connections to the foundations of quantum theory.

PhD student (4 years).

We are seeking a motivated PhD student that is interested to work on quantum information and mathematical optimization in the group of Felix Huber. Topics they can expect to work on are:

FAPESQ-PB, SECTIES-PB, CNPq, and CAPES have opened Call No. 23/2026, PROFIX-PB, for the recruitment of PhD-level researchers in Paraíba, Brazil.

The call includes 22 positions for Line 2, linked to CIQUANTA-PB, the International Center for Quantum Computing and Quantum Technologies of Paraíba.

The positions are aimed at researchers working in quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum information, quantum technologies, physics, computing, mathematics, electrical engineering, and related areas.

Main information

PhD and PostDoc positions are available in the PHOENYX project at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. PHOENYX aims to bring optical clock technology closer to real space applications by preparing core components of a compact strontium beam clock for an in-orbit demonstration. The project combines atomic physics, precision metrology, and space-system engineering, with possible tasks including laser spectroscopy on narrow optical transitions in strontium, design and testing of compact flight hardware, and data analysis or numerical modelling.

The world is changing at an ever-faster pace. At the Johannes Kepler University Linz, we work on technologies and the ideas of tomorrow on a daily basis. At the same time, we educate over 27,000 young people to meet the demands of today’s job market. In short, we are Upper Austria’s largest institution for education and research. Are you interested in being a part of shaping the future of Austria’s most attractive campus university? We currently have a job opening for a:

PhD Candidate position in Quantum Computing with Polaritons / Center for Quantum-Enabled Computing

Application deadline: Monday, June 22, 2026
Research group: Semiconductor Polariton Group
Employer: Center for Theoretical Physics PAS, Warsaw, Poland / Center for Quantum-Enabled Computing
Job type: PhD Candidate / Research Assistant

Are you interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophy and physics? Then you might be the candidate we are looking for. This PhD fellowship is associated with the interdisciplinary research project “Entanglement Metaphysics without Spacetime” (EMwiS) led by dr. Rasmus Jaksland. The aim of metaphysics is to give an account of how the world fundamentally is, and many metaphysical theories tacitly assume the fundamental existence of space and time.

Topic of PhD Research: The broad topic of research will be quantum information theory, quantum learning, quantum statistics, quantum source compression. The focus will be on conducting research of a highest quality. The student will be funded by an Agence National De Research project. Mastering quantum information is a challenging task today. It is at the intersection of physics, mathematics and engineering - computer science and electrical engineering. More so, the field is currently dominated more by physicists and mathematicians.
